The forage palm is widely cultivated in semiarid regions. It has a basic chromosome number of x = 11 and polyploids are the main variation. It is propagated via vegetative reproduction, and sexual propagation is rarely used. The objective was to associate the physiological quality of seeds of different cultivars of forage palm with the level of ploidy in the genera Opuntia and Nopalea. The cultivars used were: ...
The consumption of mandacaru fruits (Cereus jamacaru) in natura is almost non-existent, even the fruit having benefits for human health and nutrition, serving mostly for animal feed in times of prolonged drought; works that configure the ideal stages of harvesting these fruits can serve as subsidies to be used in cooking in the future. In addition, the occurrence of this species is diffuse, from the coast to th...
The Atlantic Forest is currently the most threatened biome due to various anthropogenic pressures. The destruction of habitats linked to fragmentation causes serious consequences for any type of vegetation, especially in the Atlantic Forest in the Northeast of Brazil. The angico, Anadenanthera colubrina, Fabaceae, is an arboreal species with a height of 12-15 m. The study aimed to understand the natural regener...
The habitats destruction linked to fragmentation causes serious consequences for vegetation in general, especially considering the Northeast Atlantic Forest. The Northeastern Swamps of Altitudes are areas with microclimates dissociating from extensions where they are inserted. Knowledge of the natural regeneration potential is the key to understanding the dynamics of vegetation. The study aimed to evaluate the ...
